krummelt1 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hello I am trying to learn ChIef Architect but I am having one heck of a time with the roof. I am trying to modeling my house. The house itself is pretty simple. It is a two story colonial with each of the ends having a full gabled end. The garage is where I am having trouble. Garage is 24x24. The Garage is attached to one of the gabled ends. It has a gable on the same side as the house gable and a gable on the front of the garage. So far the gabled ends have been pretty easy. I have just selected those wall as being gabeled and autobuild the roof. The back of the garage though has been a lot more troublesome. There is a room over the garage and the back of that room has a full ceiling. The roof on the back of the garage is a fully dormered roof. Meaning the roof off the back has less of a pitch than the two gableded ends. I think the two gabeled end are something like a 12/12 pitch. Not sure exactly on the pitch of the back of the roof. I have tried to use the auto dormer tool but I cannot widen it out to the full length of the back of the garage. Attached are my files and some picture of my house. I have watched a bunch of you tube videos but could not find one to get this task complete. If anyone knows of any video send me a link and I will check them out. PLEASE help I am going to pull my hair out. Thanks so much TJ House.plan Garage.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you don't get it done by the week-end or get enough help here so you can do it, I could possible do an online meeting with you and show you how to do this sometime this week-end. I would do it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 PLEASE help I am going to pull my hair out. Hey TJ, hair loss can be a serious issue. I massaged your garage plan to clean up the roof planes and make the exterior resemble your pics. This should give you a good starting point.

krummelt1 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sweet Rich Looks perfect. Can you save this in X2? I will look it over and hopefully figure out how it was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
